A newly discovered double ducted acoustic environment present
throughout much of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic has a major effect on active acoustic transmissions. This work performs an in depth
analysis of how the lower ...

The role of surface gravity waves in structuring the air–sea momentum flux is examined in the middle reaches of Chesapeake Bay. Observed wave spectra showed that wave direction in Chesapeake Bay is strongly correlated with ...

Recent advances in acoustic navigation methodologies are enabling the way for AUVs to extend
their submerged mission time and maintain a bounded XY position error. Additionally,
advances in inertial sensor technology ...

Estuarine mixing is often intensified in regions where topographic forcing leads to hydraulic transitions. Observations in the salt-wedge estuary of the Connecticut River indicate that intense mixing occurs during the ebb ...

Seawater is estimated to contain 4.5 billion tonnes of uranium, approximately 1000
times that available in conventional terrestrial resources. Finding a sustainable way
to harvest uranium from seawater will provide a ...

Breakup of the near-continuous winter sea ice into discrete summer ice floes is an important transition that dictates the evolution and fate of the marginal ice zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean. During the winter of 2014, ...

Internal solitary waves are commonly observed in the coastal ocean where they are known to contribute to mass transport and turbulent mixing. While these waves are often generated by cross-isobath barotropic tidal currents, ...

To investigate the dynamics of flows near nonuniform bathymetry, single channels (on average 30 m wide and 1.5 m deep) were dredged across the surf zone at five different times, and the subsequent evolution of currents and ...

Field-tested numerical model simulations are used to estimate the effects of an inlet, ebb shoal, wave height, wave direction, and shoreline geometry on the variability of bathymetric change on a curved coast with a migrating ...

The nonhydrostatic surface and terrain-following coastal model NHWAVE is utilized to simulate a continually forced stratified shear flow in a straight channel, which is a generic problem to test the existing nonhydrostatic ...

The causes of surf zone morphologic changes observed along a sandy beach onshore of a submarine canyon were investigated using field observations and a numerical model (Delft3D/SWAN). Numerically simulated morphologic ...

The effects of waves, wind, and bathymetry on tidal and subtidal hydrodynamics at unstratified,
shallow New River Inlet, NC, are evaluated using field observations and numerical simulations.
Tidal flows are ebb-dominated ...

Planktonic larvae of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica are able to regulate their vertical position in the water, but the environmental cues responsible for this regulation, particularly in turbulent settings, remain ...

Numerical models of ocean circulation often depend on parameters that must be
tuned to match either results from laboratory experiments or field observations. This
study demonstrates that an initial, suboptimal estimate ...

The linkage among total exchange flow, entrainment, and diffusive salt flux in estuaries is derived analytically using salinity coordinates, revealing the simple but important relationship between total exchange flow and ...

Humpback whales are known to undertake long-distance migration between feeding and breeding sites, but their movement behavior within their breeding range is still poorly known. Satellite telemetry was used to investigate ...

The current standard for large-volume (thousands of cubic meters) zooplankton sampling in the deep sea is the MOCNESS, a system of multiple opening–closing nets, typically lowered to within 50 m of the seabed and towed ...

A data storage and retrieval scheme has been designed
and implemented which provides cost effective and easy access
to location-dependent, 'geophysical' data. The system is
operational on a Digital Equipment Corporation ...

There is a growing need for cyberinfrastructure to support science-based decision making in management of natural resources. In particular, our motivation was to aid the development of cyberinfrastructure for Integrated ...
